416 - 5 Things I'd Do Differently If I Had to Start Over in My Career as a Working Mom
Description
If I were starting my career over today — with everything I now know about ambition, the nervous system, and sustainable success — I would do it very differently.
Not because I regret being driven or capable.
But because I misunderstood what actually creates long-term performance, clarity, and well-being.
In this episode, I’m sharing the five shifts I wish I had made earlier in my career — back when I was running a law practice, raising babies, and equating success with doing more, faster, and better.
These aren’t productivity tips.
They’re nervous-system-informed lessons about how high-achieving women can build meaningful careers without sacrificing their health, energy, or peace.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why defining success for yourself is the foundation of sustainable ambition
- How saying no more — and saying it faster — protects your nervous system and capacity
- Why daily nervous system regulation matters more than discipline or willpower
- The difference between managing your time and managing your energy
- Why aligned mentorship changes everything (and why I wish I’d invested sooner)
This episode is for working moms who are ambitious, capable, and successful — but quietly exhausted by the way they’ve been holding it all.
If you want to keep your drive while building a career that actually supports your body and your life, this conversation will give you a powerful reframe and a more sustainable way forward.
Press play to hear what I’d do differently — and how you can start making these shifts now.
